Find the average rate of change of the function f(x)=(1/x-7) as x changes from x=-2 to x=5

Answer:

-\frac{1}{18}

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}

Where,

a = -2,

f(a) = f(-2) = \frac{1}{(-2) - 7} = \frac{1}{-9} = -⅑

f(a) = -⅑

b = 5

f(b) = f(5) = \frac{1}{(5) - 7} = \frac{1}{-2} = -½

f(b) = -½

Plug in the values into the equation

Average rate of change = \frac{-\frac{1}{2} - (-\frac{1}{9}}{5 -(-2)}

= \frac{\frac{-9 - (-2)}{18}}{7}

= \frac{\frac{-7}{18}}{7}

= \frac{-7}{18} * \frac{1}{7}

= \frac{-1}{18} * \frac{1}{1}

= \frac{-1}{18} * 1

= -\frac{1}{18}

Justin built a display stand out of two rectangular prisms. The smaller rectangular prism is 2 inches tall, 4 inches wide, and 6
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

428 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Surface area of a prism: 2wl +2lh+2hw

Where w is the width of the prism; l the length; and h the height.

Replacing with the values given:

S (smaller prism) = 2 (4x6) + 2(6x2)+ 2(2x4)=48+24+16= 88 in2

S (larger prism) = 2 (8x10) +2 (10 x5)+2(5x8)= 160+100+80=340in2

Adding both surface areas:

88+340 =428 in2

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
